Chelsea put up fresh sparkling Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang bid as negotiations head to the wire

A large phase of the disagreement between the two is that Barcelona want to deal with the two matters separately, whilst Chelsea desire to include the Spanish left-back in their offer for Aubameyang. Earlier in the day, Romano had reported that a bid of €15m (£12.98m) plus Alonso, but that virtually was not successful. It is believed that Chelsea cost Alonso at €8m (£6.92) in the negotiations.

Part of the reason for Barcelona’s desire to do the offers may additionally be down to accounting reasons. A price acquired for Aubameyang will appear immediately on their accounts. The value of paying for Marcos Alonso may want to in contrast being unfold out throughout his contract. As a result, if Barcelona get hold of a €23m rate for Aubameyang and pay €8m for Alonso on a two-year deal, it will work out as a €19m profit, as adversarial to a €15m earnings accomplished the way that Chelsea are suggesting.
